Bound To The Tyrant Prince

Chapter 2

"It is poison. Let me help you." Xu Ling Ai move slowly towards him.

In the darkness, Xu Ling Ai notice that he is dressed all in black with a gold mask on.

She look very alluring with wet night robes and wet hair. But he is not a man who is easily tempted. He wonder if a lady like her know how to treat poison.

The silence lasted for about a minute before he spoke. He decided to trust her for once.

"How long will it take?"

"My house is near here. We need to stop the bleeding real quick." Xu Ling Ai quickly said. She is worried the poison will spread even faster if they delay the treatment.

Xu Ling Ai then led the mask man towards their house. It is very fortunate she live near the river only. Or the man won't be alive.

"Jiang Mama pick up some painkillers leaf, poison's antidote, unused rags, torch and also a big bowl of water. Fast!"

Once arrived in front of her house, she screamed for Jiang Mama's help. Jiang Mama were shocked when she saw Xu Ling Ai in a sleeping attire wet all over with a man but she didn't ask anything as she could see the man is injured.

The mask man who kept his silence, finally putting down his swords.

"Masked man. Please don't move. I will check your injuries." Her voice was small but slightly stern.

In the dim light, he look directly at the young lady with intensity. No one expect the next thing Xu Ling Ai would do is trying to take off his clothes.

"What are you doing?" He dangerously said, snatching her small hands. He thought she was going to give him antidotes only.

"I'm sorry if you feel uncomfortable. But if I didn't check the wound, how am I going to treat it?"

Xu Ling Ai suddenly remember some of the country etiquette that Jiang Mama has teach her. Unmarried man and woman need to have some boundaries.

"I'll do it myself." His icy tone broke the silence.

"Sure. It's not like I really want to see your body." Xu Ling Ai roll her eyes.

'I had seen a lot of man body on netflix. His body probably nothing compared to the actors.' She snorted.

Though the poison has started to spread out, this masked man still possessed a good amount of strength. He then then took off his outer robes.

"Miss I brought all the things that you told me to." Jiang Mama snapped her out of entrance and went back to prepare more medicines.

Putting the torch beside her, it instantly lighten up the small place.

As soon as she set her eyes on his body, she froze. Xu Ling Ai has never seen a man figure face to face so she thought it was just normal.

'Don't drool. Don't drool.' She remind herself.

But she didn't know that a man body would be more alluring. She is no saint. This masked man had an excellent physique.

"Cool." Xu Ling Ai blurted out the word and she quickly covered her mouth.

But her attention suddenly diverted to the old scars on his huge body. Unconsciously tracing it softly, she asked.

"This must hurt a lot when you first got it."

Sadness washed over her as she feel somehow in pain. Probably the old memories of the real Xu Ling Ai. She quickly shake off her thoughts. This is not her.

Xu Ling Ai kneeled down next to him and gave him the antidotes. Her hands skillfully using the acupuncture technique to stop the bleeding.

She then spread out her salve and the mixed medicinal plants. Xu Ling Ai realized she had used all the rag.

Without wasting anytime, she tear her own nightie robe on the below part which have dried and wrap it around him.

"It's done. Mister you should change the wound twice a day and don't drink alcohol for some times." She remind him while turning around to wash her hand in the bowl.

Hearing no respond, she turned to find him out of nowhere leaving a luxurious looking jade on the ground.

"Is this the way he thanked me or he accidentally left this? This seem so expensive. Can I sell this?"

Picking up the jade, she whispered to herself gazing down at the jade. The shiny looking jade was carved perfectly.
